Summary The third and final installment (The Hunger Games and Catching Fire) follows Katniss Everdeen in her most demanding challenge yet as a representation of the revolution against The Capitol.
Source I was eagerly awaiting to read this and was still on the waiting list at the library but was able to borrow it from a friend.
My thoughts I thought it was a proper conclusion to the series.
Summary The second book following The Hunger Games picks up after Katniss Everdeen wins The Hunger Games. She now has to deal with the consequences of winning and inciting rebellions.
Source I was lucky to be able to read Catching Fire right after finishing The Hunger Games. Unfortunately, I am #164 waiting for the final book, Mockingjay, at the library.
My thoughts I didn't think this was engrossing as The Hunger Games but it does draw you in. I don't want to say too much but I didn't expect to be pulled back in a second time. This one definitely ends in a cliffhanger, leaving you desperately wanting to read Mockingjay.
Summary The heroine Katniss Everdeen, a modern day Theseus (I only found that out once my boyfriend A explained pointed it out), finds herself in The Hunger Games in which to win, she must be the sole survivor. The Hunger Games is an annual televised game held by The Capitol, as a reminder to the 12 districts that they lost their rebellion. Katniss must struggle against players 23 other players, including a potential lover.
Source My sister was reading it while I was visiting although I suspect she heard about it from Lainey.
My thoughts The book is so fast paced I could not put it down; I read the book in two days. I particularly liked the world that Suzanne Collins built.I could vividly imagine the different worlds she built: Katniss' District 12 specializing in coal production, the evil and futuristic Capitol and the arena where The Hunger Games are held. If you're looking for an engrossing read in which you get to live in another world and consider the role of government, this is the book for you.
